Thai Pork Satay With Peanut Dipping Sauce Food

THAI PORK SATAY

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.

• Cut the pork into thin strips that are approximately 1 to 3 inches wide.
• Combine all other ingredients to make a marinade, stirring well to dissolve the honey. Taste the marinade. This marinade should taste both sweet and salty; if you'd prefer it to be spicier, add more cayenne pepper.
• Pour marinade over the pork. Stir the meat well and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
• When ready to cook, skewer the meat, weaving it lengthwise along the stick. Position the meat near one end of the stick, leaving the other half as a handle for turning.
• Brush grill grates with oil and then lay satay on the grill for 5 to 7 minutes, or until meat sizzles and browns. Turn sticks and grill the other side another 5 minutes, or until cooked but still tender.
